Top 3
#3 Bryan Bresee
Sophomore, Clemson
Jalen Carter missed last week’s game due to an injury. Bryan Bresee missed the game against Louisiana Tech due to personal issues but returned to the field against Wake Forest. During the game, he had two tackles in an OT win and found himself in the backfield multiple times. Bresee is a star in the Tigers’ defense, and while he doesn’t have the stats, he is a wrecking force along the line.

#2 Jarrett Patterson, Senior, Notre Dame
Patterson once again finds himself in the top two. The Norte Dame linemen led the Irish to a second straight win. Throughout the game, multiple Irish backs broke free for huge gains, thanks to the guys up front. Patterson will stay at #2 this week and continues to contest for the outland trophy.
#1 Peter Skoronski, Junior, Northwestern
I said it last week, and I will say it again, Peter Skoronski is the best offensive tackle in college football. Peter has a PFF grade of 91.5 and continues to dominate opposing defenders with his size. Skoronski should win the Outland trophy this year and become the first lineman taken in the 2023 NFL Draft.
